[ANN] euTcp4u Update (was RE: IRC client)
Hi Chris, Kat, and anyone interested
I have updated my sockets library "euTcp4u".
It can be downloaded from my web page at:
http://www.geocities.com/ray_223
It only contains a couple of fixes:
* I have updated the data type to "atom" for all sockets usage.
* The example programs send_seq.exw and recv_seq.exw have been fixed.
* Updated the doco.
If anyone does currently use the library I'd appreciate you testing
the latest version to make sure your programs still work.
I emailed RDS about the update so it should appear in the "Recent
User Contributions" in the next day or so.
Kat:
As a test on my local example programs I modified server.exw and
client.exw to use port "52009" and it still worked without allocating
4 bytes. So I can't understand why you needed that change to make
your IRC program work!!!
Thanks,
Ray Smith
